Dear Friends and Family,

I am so excited to share an incredible opportunity with you! I am preparing to go on a mission trip to Japan this May 19-31, where I will be working with partner churches and spending time with their leaders who were sent from our home church. I had the privilege of going on my first mission trip to Japan in 2019. I helped with a summer camp where we served by teaching kids English. It was truly the best experience of my life. I have the opportunity to go back and continue working with and supporting the amazing work being done there.

However, the cost of this trip is significant, and I cannot do it alone. I am reaching out to ask for your support, both in prayer and, if you are able, through financial contributions. To cover travel, housing, and food, I’m trying to raise $3000. Any amount you can give will help make this possible.

If you would like to donate, I can provide more details. To give a tax-deductible donation, please go to the Karis Church website, click on the giving tab here, scroll down to “Japan Mission,” and choose an amount. You can also choose to donate (not tax-deductible) via Venmo here. Most importantly, I ask for your prayers for this mission, for the church in Japan, and for the work God is doing there.

Thank you so much for your support!
